The guidebook “spain” was excellent. I used it for planning the trip to Madrid, Barcelona and Toledo.

Great tool for travel planning a quick trip to this region of England
I visited Oxford las month and this Pocket Guide was a great value. Sights and pubs reviews were spot on. One thing though: during graduation season, several sights are closed down for private events. Duke Humfrey's library and the Sheldonian Theater were unavailable during my trip. Maybe there's a note in the guide which I might have missed, but a heads-up on this would be nice.

really helpful
I love the lonely Planet Guides, they are so useful when travelling. It Had all the Importamt information about the regions in Tasmania, so we could plan our Roadtrip without googling for hours. The Cape Raoul Track was beautiful, as Well as many other places recommended Here. The prices of the ferry etc. Are also helpful. Thank you!

Bought too late but still helpful
I purchased this book just before we did a spur of the moment (tickets are cheap, let's go to Egypt) trip during Spring break this year. I found it extremely helpful in knowing the history of the temples and monuments we were going to and to identify them later when we were posting pictures on Facebook. Because I didn't get the book until just before we left, I ended up reading about the areas we were going to as we were traveling to them, so the division of contents into regions was super helpful.
